Let me tell you about Sophia Raday...

Sophia Raday is an author. She wrote 'Love in Condition Yellow'. When she called the store and mentioned that she would be in town and was wondering if she could come in and do a reading I was guarded. Readings and signings do not do well in my store unless the author brings along their own fan club.

"Sure", I replied as I pulled out the calendar to pencil her in.
"Can I bring wine and cheese"?
I answered with an emphatic, "YES"!

Her books were ordered, the store was cleaned, and the signs were posted. The day arrives. Fans and family members file in. Wine is uncorked, talk and laughter begins.

As Sophia begins her talk I realize that this is her first book, and a challenge at that. She is publically writing about her life including her marriage to a military man... and all the differences. As she reads an intense selection of the book the hair on my arms prickles and I know that I will go home and read this book.

Signed copies are available at the Princeton store for any of you that are interested.
